The present invention relates to a variant of a parent lipase, wherein said variant has at least 60% but less than 100% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 2, has lipase activity, comprises a substitution at a position corresponding to position 92 and/or 96; and remains unaltered at the positions corresponding to positions 231, 233 and 254 of SEQ ID NO: 2. The present invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding the variants; nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides; and methods of using the variants.

Lipase variants and polynucleotides encoding same

The present invention relates to isolated lipase variants, comprising a substitution at one or more positions corresponding to positions I86D,E,N,Q, E87C, I90D,E,Q, and N92D,E,Q of the mature polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the variant has lipase activity. In some embodiments the present invention relates to isolated polynucleotides encoding the variants; nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides; methods of producing the variants; and compositions comprising the variants. The present invention also relates to methods of obtaining lipase variants; methods of cleaning; and use of lipase variants for cleaning.
